What are the things you dislike most when others make motoring comments.

I have plenty and I'll start with this one..
Drive it like you stole it.

About HPDE: how fast did you go?
or similar about a car: 'how fast will it go'

Keep the shiny side up!

My favorite is “you paid for the whole road, so use the whole road”

From non-car people: ''Why do you need such a quick car and a gas guzzler at that'.

What'd ya pay for it?

Why is your car so loud? Can you fix it?

(From my MIL recently... sigh)

How much do want for it?

Trade, straight across?

What’s the fastest you’ve ever gone in it. I have actually had police ask me that question.

Mr. Officer: Does it lay rubber?

Driver: I don’t know.

At your age you should be driving something more sensible.

I’ve never had anybody say any of those things to me other than “nice car” (which is fine)

But..,

I HATE when I’m washing my car and somebody breaks my Zen and says “do mine next hahaha”

Things like this: "how much was it? dayum you could have bought two Kias for that!" "Nice car, did you also drive the new Chevy Trailblazer, that's what I want". And the classic "nice, but I wouldn't want those payments!" and they don't believe me when I say I don't have any.

X car is more reliable/cheap


IDGAF it’s boring

ALL of the aforementioned! Mostly these in Germany:

- "Why that? You'll never be able to drive it flat out!"
- "For me a fuel consumption over 20 litres/km would be insane. You seem to have too much money!"
- "No brain but killing the environment!"

Car guys calling out a Porsche 911 as a 'nine eleven'

Non car guys saying a Porsche nine one one

Yeah I don't recall any thing other than some form of "nice car".

Well, there are exceptions. I recall a guy and his young son walking past my 996 Turbo. Kid said something like that's a car girls like. Dad got all red and shushed the kid as he looked my way. I just smiled. I knew what the kid was talking about.

Another time I was in a gas station convenience store when some guy came in and asked me if that was my blue M2 outside. Fearing the worst -- parking lot accident -- I said that it was my car. Guy asked can I take a picture of it?

Whew! Oh and I said sure.

I just reply, “ My elbow suddenly started hurting.” Always get a laugh.

The suspension is wayyyy too hard, you should buy something softer..

I usually say “there’s a car wash on the highway, I’ve heard they do a good job” if I even reply
